This image of a pink tulip was taken during a visit to the New York Botanical Gardens. It was a wet and overcast day, however these conditions proved to be perfect for capturing images of the flowers within the gardens.

To produce this image I used my 70-200L, with the aperture set at F/4.0 and the lens zoomed to 100mm I was able to focus perfectly on the front tulip and create a nice background blur (aka bokeh). I especially liked the beads of rain that still remained on this flower.
